Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever. It's been…very stressful for me. I've had so much school work, and one of my best friends committed suicide. So, I really haven't even looked at my computer until now. But, I'm updating now. I'm sorry if my chapters freakin' suck, but I'll do my best.
IMPORTANT!! Okay. You know Emilee and Renton? Well, I really hate those characters in my story. (No offense Hanna!) So I'm taking them out of the story. Once again, they NEVER existed in my story! Pretend they were never here!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto because life isn't anywhere near fair.
"So…it was like you were sent into warped reality?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah. Kinda like that, I guess…" Sakura answered.
"Hmmm…does Sasuke have a bloodline?" Everyone looked up at Hinata dumbfounded.
"What do you mean?" Ino questioned, obviously confused.
"I read in a book that some bloodlines have…almost like a superpower. Only they can be used to manipulate friends and family. Or…maybe even hurt them, which is like what happened to you, Sakura." The three other girls were bewildered.
"Wow. We all knew Hinata was smart," Sakura said after a moment of surprised silence.
"Are you kidding? She's a friggin' genius! Wanna do my homework?" Ino asked hyperly. She received a nice bonk on the head from both Tenten and Sakura.
"Owww…just kidding!" They all laughed merrily. It was nice to know everything was going to be okay. But, the girls still had one thing to say to Sakura. And they all knew it.
"I have to go talk to Sasuke. I probably freaked him out. Ha ha, what a sad girlfriend I am!" Sakura was about to leave the room when the three other ladies looked at each other. Ino ran to the door, blockading it, and Tenten pulled her down back onto a bed.
"What the heck you guys? Let me go talk to my boyfriend!" Sakura tried to force her way back to the door, but Tenten, being the strongest at the moment, kept her down.
"Sakura. There's something we need to tell you about that," Hinata whispered.
"What do you mean? I'm so confused!" Sakura cried. Ino took her place next to Sakura on the bed.
"Sakura…after Sasuke…did that to you, Neji said that it would probably be best if…you and Sasuke weren't a couple anymore…" Tenten explained the situation. Sakura was sitting there, barely moving. Suddenly…
"Ha ha, yeah I get it guys. You're joking with me, right? Well, good one. I'm gonna go talk to Sasuke now." Sakura began her way back to the door. But, her mind was in deep thought as she started another conversation with her inner.
'Are they serious?! They didn't confront me first?'
'Sakura. I heard the entire thing. Yeah, Sasuke even agreed to it. He doesn't wanna hurt you again.'
'But…but…I love him!'
'And he loves you too, outer me. But you need to accept it and move on.'
'Hey, you're not being all angry and loud as usual. Are you okay?'
'I think it's this bulimia thing and everything that's been going on. I'm just a little tired, is all. I'm…fine…'
'Are you sure?'
'…'
'Inner?'
'…yeah. I'll be…okay…'
'Whatever you say…but he really broke up with me?'
'Yeah. And I'm sorry.'
'I can't…believe it…OWW!'
'What's…owww…wrong?'
'My…my throat…it hurts so bad!'
'Yeah. Mine's been doing that for a while…where at?'
'My esophagus!' Sakura was taken out of her dazed state as she stopped in her tracks.
'Sakura! Sakura! Are you okay? Sakura!" Hinata, Ino and Tenten jumped up as soon as Sakura coughed. She fell to the ground. Hinata and Ino screamed when they saw the blood coming out of her mouth.
-With the Guys-
"Hey! Did you hear that?" Neji asked. They were all in the room still comforting Sasuke, who was beyond miserable at that point.
"It sounded like the girls. Did they scream?" Naruto asked. He was eating ramen.
"Yeah. Let's just be really quiet and listen again," Shikamaru said quietly. They all sat there. Suddenly, they heard Ino shouting.
"Sakura! Sakura please, wake up! You'll be okay, we promise! Shikamaru! Naruto! Anyone!"
Sasuke's head shot up. Sakura? She's hurt? Everyone leapt up and sprinted towards the room. Neji opened the door to see Sakura's head on Hinata's lap. Tenten was bawling and Ino was shaking Sakura, trying to wake her up and frantically screaming now. The guys rushed over to help.
"What happened?" Shikamaru asked. He was clutching Ino's shoulders, trying to pry her off of Sakura. He didn't want Ino doing any further damage.
"We don't know! We told her that she and Sasuke weren't together anymore and she said that we were joking and went to talk to him, but then she grabbed her throat and collapsed!" Tenten wailed. Neji was trying to shush her.
"I'm calling a hospital. Don't move her!" Naruto ran to his room and dialed 911.
"Sakura?" Sasuke sat by her side. Her head was now in his lap, and her blood was still running out of her small mouth.
"Can you hear me? Sakura? Please! Everything will be okay. I won't let anything happen to you. Come one, please, just open one of your eyes. Show me you're okay." Sakura lay limp and seemingly lifeless in his arms.
"I called the hospital. They said they'll be here in five minutes. They also said not to move her. I told the lady on the phone what happened and that Sakura's bulimic, and she said that she might have ruptured her esophagus. Is that bad?" Naruto barely whispered.
"Neji. Didn't that happen to our aunt?" Hinata asked him. He didn't respond.
"Neji?"
"…yeah. That's what happened."
"What happened to your aunt? She was okay in a few days, right?" Tenten, Ino and the rest of the guys had hopeful expressions on their faces. Neji and Hinata looked at each other slowly, not knowing what to say.
"She…actually…died in a few days…" Hinata sighed. Ino and Tenten burst into more tears. The guys tried to stay strong. Sasuke was not doing a very good job.
'What if she dies? I'll never live with myself. How can I? I still love her!' Sasuke, the Sasuke Uchiha, let a few stray tears roll down his delicate face.
Just then, someone knocked at the hotel room door. Neji got up to answer it, and the EMT's came in with a stretcher. They began working immediately.
"How is she?" Shikamaru asked impatiently. One young man stood up. He took them all to the next room. (The guys' room, just in case you forgot. They have conjoining rooms.)
Everyone sat down, waiting for an answer. The man sighed. He took in a deep breath and began.
"Guys. I don't think your friend in there is going to make it." They all gasped. At that point, everyone was bawling.
"I know. That was a strong way to put it, but I don't know what else to say. But, because of my job, I have to ask you all a few questions." He looked around at everyone. They all nodded in response.
"First question," he began. "When did she start any regurgitating?" Nobody understood the question.
"Okay. You guys don't get it. How do I put this…okay. When did she start making herself throw up?" Ino answered in between sobs.
"She…told u-us a-about thr-three week-weeks ago." The EMT jotted the answer down on a notebook he had brought.
"Okay. Number two. Does she have a reason why she would start doing this?" Naruto answered this time.
"She's a model, along with the other girls." He hugged Hinata tight against him. The EMT looked at the girls.
"She's a model with you guys?" They all nodded. He sighed. "Not another one…"
"What do you mean by that?" Tenten asked angrily.
The EMT raised his hands in a don't-get-mad-at-me manner. "A lot of people in the hospital right now are models. Same story as the girl's in there." Tenten apologized for getting so upset.
"Okay. Well, you all must be wondering a ton of stuff right now. Any questions?" The EMT glanced around the room.
"Yeah. How long will she be at the hospital?" Sasuke asked him. The EMT sighed again.
"It could be a week to a few months. But we also need to get her help for the bulimia. That takes years." Sasuke shook his head, not believing what he was hearing.
"Is there anything we can do right now?" Hinata asked.
"At the moment, no. But when she wakes up, keep her calm, explain what's going on, and support her through treatment. That's about it." Nobody else had anymore questions after that, and the other EMT's were leading Sakura out of the room and to an ambulance. The gang quickly followed and got into their own vehicles. All you here was the sounds of sirens going off as they approached the hospital.
I know. A ton of crap happens to Sakura a lot. That's just the way I write. And that's where I'm gonna stop tonight. So, review pretty please!
